To fight the ultimate boss (God King), you need to find all the elemental tablets scattered through Valandis and fight the mini-bosses to get them.

Before listing the tablets, many are located in Eastern Ograne Grottos and you'll need a few things:
Charon's Coin Bag: There's a locked manor in the middle of Rohlan Fields lake. The Manor Key is found in a chest near the Eternal Flame Temple in northwest Rohlan Fields.
Elevator Key: This is found near the end of Magic Academy Nhysa (the last dungeon of the game)
Next go to Raminas Tower and fight your way up to the third floor. Use the Elevator Key to use the elevator and go to the first floor (Down). Follow the path until you exit to the northeast area of Ograne Grottos. You should now be able to find a boat that you can use Charon's Coin Bag with to go to the eastern area of Ograne Grottos. There's a fast travel crystal here so it's easier to get here in the future. Now for the tablet list.

Earth Tablet is located in Eastern Ograne Grottos and Randomage is the mini-boss.
Water Tablet is located in Narslene Sewers and you need to fight Boutrous as the mini-boss. To get to Narslene Sewers go north from the fast travel crystal in Eastern Ograne Grottos, fall down the cliff into the dark area, then go south until you find an exit. That exit goes to the sewers
Wind Tablet is located at the Kraken that appears at the end of the game.
Fire Tablet can also be found in the Eastern Ograne Grottos. Chel is the mini-boss. This is similar to the Water Tablet except when you get to the dark area instead of going south, go east and then north. You should run into Chel and afterwards keep following the path until you climb out and get to an oasis area. The Fire Tablet is in the middle of this area.
Light Tablet is found in the north-eastern area of the Fields of Perpetua and you must fight Assassin Girl in the forest.
Dark Tablet is found in Rockbottom's mine where you burn the totem and turn all the goblins back to human.

I recommend grabbing the FIRE TABLET first as in that area you can buy a set of excellent equipment items:
4 BRACELETS OF POWER/DEFENSE/MAGIC/WISDOM
You can buy from the "hidden" vendor you can find where you obtain the FIRE TABLET (sandstormy-beachy oasis area connected to north-east exit of Baalrut-Tunnel).
These items should be helpful to fight the other bosses protecting tablets.

After beating the main quest and getting all of the ultimate weapons, I used Sienne, Glenn, Ba, and Mikah and focused 100% on damage. Beat him before his second attack.

I wanted to drop a line here about strategy to beat this post-game optional boss who was designed to be the hardest of the game in the classic style of JRPGs.

This fight is necessary also for these other achievements:

The Reward Cartel Boss achievement in Chained Echoes worth 368 pointsComplete the Reward Board.

The Walking Killing Machine achievement in Chained Echoes worth 116 pointsComplete the bestiary.

Your Foe:
God King Gaemdriel
HP: 28000
Type: Undead
Natural weaknesses/resistances: None

To find him, You can use the Solution for God King In Chained Echoes

There are handful of different ways to skin this cat (or godking) and most agree on 1 point: It is ideal to reach this fight with maxed out ultimate weapons and armors. Really helps damage output as well as survivability of your party.
The ACT THRICE buff Gaemdriel has can prove a lot to handle without them, but by no means is mandatory. Another set of items that are recommended and help are the 4 BRACELETS OF POWER/DEFENSE/MAGIC/WISDOM that you can buy from the hidden vendor you can find where you obtain the FIRE TABLET (sandstormy-beachy oasis area connected to north-east exit of Baalrut-Tunnel)

The strategy I used:

I was planning to optimize the party order but since i beat him on my first try, im going to just propose what I used since it worked well:

LENNE - GLENN
SIENNA - VICTOR
MIKAH - AMALIA
ROBB - EGYL

ROB as DPS with WATER DAMAGE and UNDEAD KILLER equipment to increase damage done with CHARGED + POWER SHOT. THROAT SHOT very recommended to prevent him from buffing. I added Paralyze Hit passive for good measure.
MIKHA as a buffer/debuffer with her DOUBLE STEP and LARYNX hit to inflict silence that prevents the boss from buffing himself. Always good to do some damage via TIGER COMBO moves if you find room for that. I had her equipped with crit up and crit damage passives and POISON HIT.
For constant healing and buffing I used VICTOR and AMALIA. I called them buffers because I taught AMALIA DRUNKEN MASTER and VICTOR has HEROIC ODE and EFREET SONG (for lowering water resistance on boss).
LENNE as DPS with THIRD EYE + HEAVENS TEAR and used her CLEANSE to remove Gmdriel's buffs. I gave her equipment with water damage and passives for magic damage output.
SIENNA as a "backup DPS". Plan was to use her with all the agility buffers from the teamates and leverage DRAGONFANG. Also used her evasiveness skills like SHADOWSTEP and QUICKSTEP so she would remain alive. Passives all for AGI, ATK UP,evasion and critical % and damage. I equipped her with SILENT HIT crystals inc ase i got lucky and would disrupt the boss casting.
ROBB for ALL BREAK and DRUNKEN MASTER buff. WATER STRIKE i used maybe once that i had no better move to do in a turn for damage.
Last one for me was Egyl just to apply dry via WIND GUST, i didn't use him at all other than that.

prep:
I equipped all my damage makers with Water and Fire crystals as well as Status effects like silence and blind attack crystals. I gave one of them DRY ATTACK crystals to see if it helped keep DRY status at all times. Poison/toxic also good cause why not?
In the armors I put DFNS UP and PARALYZE hits here and there... I felt like i was overdoing it a bit, but mixed it up to gave me as big a chance as i could. Finally i realized i had a couple of UNDEAD KILLER crystals lying around, combined them and equipped to one of my DPS chars that had slots open in weapopn/armor.

Summary fight:
Started fight applying DOUBLE STEPS + DRUNKEN MASTER on party and ALL BREAK + Efreet Song on boss. After that try to sneak in WIND GUST to apply dry and, Silence him with Larynx attack. Heroic Ode is ideal too if you can sneak it in.

At this point you have A TON of moves with your party in-between boss' moves. This allows you to find a sweet balance between charging your attacks with ROBB and LENNE to do damage and heal the party and keep buffing/debuffing as needed. Silence status really helped me preventing the strongest buffs from the boss.
I had 1 or 2 characters die but with so many turns in a row, i could easily bring em back and heal everyone in time.
Eventually i brought SIENNA out of the bench and made sure to apply all the AGILITY and EVASION buffs i had available in the party to start using her DRAGONFANG.
Remember to keep DRY status on the boss at all times and that you have SIENNA's CLEANSE move in case boss loads up HP REGEN or physical resistance etc.

The fight took me less than 8 minutes.

As a reward of this fight not only you will unlock a couple achievements, but you also get a cool monument for your base at Hermit Island.

GOOD LUCK!!!

The ultimate boss in the game is God King Gaemdriel. You can face him by finding the six elemental tablets hidden in the world and placing them on the pedestals in the western section of Ograne Grotto. The locations of the tablets are found in the guide in the Road Map, or you can use the video below.

Once you have all six tablets, return to the western section of Ograne Grotto and inset all of them into the pedestals, which activates the rune circle on the floor. Save and enter the portal for what should be your final fight of the game. All said, the boss is not that difficult if you're using the Accessability Options to make battles easier. You can use your eagle party member's ultimate to negate a ton of damage, and armor break with Glenn to increase your own. Switch in a healer when needed, but otherwise just keep up the damage.
